Be authentic


We were created for relationship and connections with God and with one another. However shame and fear often stop from making these connections. The fear that others may not like us, may criticise us, or not accept us if we show our true selves.  We often try to hide and be some else. Being fake has become the order of the day with many having outdoor profiles, or social media profiles that is not who they really are. We are more vulnerable when we are authentic, and that's our fear. Being authentic means letting go of who others want you to be, so that you can be who you really are. It means being genuine, trust worthy and original.
Heaven is looking for people who are unashamed and unafraid of their weaknesses, who realise that God works in their brokenness to show forth beauty. People who realise they live in the light of God's love where nothing is hidden and they can be themselves. To be all you can, you must let go of all your fears and be authentic. Would it not be wonderful to be your true self; to be unafraid to take a stand; to do what you love without any reservations? Only you have the power to be authentic .
I would like to hear your thoughts on being authentic.
